Paul Simon recently performed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City as part of his "A Quiet Celebration" tour. The concert was divided into two parts: the first featured his new album, "Seven Psalms," performed in its entirety without breaks. The second half consisted of a selection of his hits and lesser-known songs.
Simon's performance included songs from his extensive catalog, spanning his solo work and his time with Simon & Garfunkel. Edie Brickell joined him onstage for harmonies on several songs, showcasing their musical partnership. The setlist included classics like "Graceland," "The Boxer," and "The Sound of Silence."
The tour marks a significant event, especially considering Simon's hearing issues, which initially made him question his ability to perform live. The concert was a success, with the audience warmly receiving both the new material and the familiar favorites. The show was a testament to Simon's enduring legacy.
